Chapter 92 - A True Expert of an Opponent, Possessing a..... (1/2)

“You… you….”

It took but an instant. Flying Flames suddenly realized that Qin Fen had entered his attack range, and Qin Fen continued to move closer to him in a leisurely manner. Not a bit of an aura was coming out from Qin Fen’s body, but Flying Flames felt quite the sense of danger from the body that was filled with the desire to battle.

An expert? Flying Flames felt that this was absurd. He had faced youngsters who tried opening a sect for the first time, and he always held the upper-hand, toying with them like a cat playing with a mouse. He destroyed his opponents’ desire to battle or he infuriated his opponents to lose their cool, completely crushing them in the end.

However, today Flying Flames felt a reversal of roles. He felt like he was the youngster who hadn’t done much thinking and stupidly came to face a challenge, challenging a tester that was way above him.

Flying Flames felt himself become tinier as he stood before Thirty-Six Hours.

“AH! AHHH!”

He raised his head to the sky and roared. Flying Flames roared to shake away the fears within his heart. The superiority he would always feel when crushing young challengers was forcefully restored by his roars.

His eyes turned blood-red in an instant. His face turned incompatibly rosy as well, and his two white palms turned a blood-like crimson!

Three wild roars evoked his aura!

There was a booster within his body that boosted the energy of the Magma Art. His three roars stimulated the device into rapid operation. His eyes were dead-fixed upon Qin Fen’s body, and the air around his palms began to warp and bloom from the heat.

Qin Fen took the initiative in launching an attack. The power of this single step was much stronger than the ones he took prior.

A single stomp caused Flying Flames’s entire body to jolt, and there was nothing but air beneath his feet in an instant. It was just like he had slipped on a banana peel.

At the same time, the volcanic rock collapsed into countless fragments at the spot stomped by Qin Fen. A huge chunk of volcanic rock split with countless lines in different directions. The stomp was like a heavy hammer striking the earth.

With nothing but air beneath Flying Flames’s feet, naturally, Qin Fen didn’t allow this chance to escape his grasp. The powerful drive of force allowed him to cross the last few meters of distance between them. His arms were level and relaxed, his fists clenched lightly. His entire arm carried a scream akin to a thundering storm as it whipped toward Flying Flames’s skull.

At this moment, Qin Fen pressed against the ground, channeling power through his waist, then to his shoulders, and finally to his arm in one smooth flow. He used none other than the fitness exercise of fist forms he was most familiar with. He struck with the Advancing Whipstrike.

He had practiced this martial art for many years and had fused combat tactics created to slaughter into this attack. He was explosively fast and fierce. He was as unyielding as a bear, and his body moved faster than a cheetah.

“Not good!”

A tiny gap of distraction had appeared in Flying Flames’s mind just now. The space before his eyes suddenly darkened, for Qin Fen’s arm, which was as thick as a pillar and a mere inch away from his cheek, whipped at him with the intent of total annihilation.

Qin Fen had struck with the Advancing Whipstrike in a determination to win. The Dragon Elephant Prajna Art was infused into it as well. Even a donkey would be destroyed on the spot if struck by this attack.

In this moment of extreme danger, Flying Flames’s forty years of life experience finally revealed itself. His body pulled back to lean to the side, and he raised his arms over his shoulders. His entire body was now slanted sixty degrees in order to dispel the force.

The arm, like a steel whip, smashed heavily upon the forearm Flying Flames was using to protect his skull. The surge of power made Flying Flames instantly feel as if a high-speed maglev motorcycle had crashed into his body rather than an arm. His feet had yet to stand firm on the ground. This single attack caused Flying Flames’s sixty-degree slanted body to lose balance. He was wiped off his feet once more. His entire body seemed to be lying down in the middle of the air.

Within the sight captured by Flying Flames’s eyes, Qin Fen’s left foot enlarged at extreme speeds. One didn’t need any of the senses of a martial artist to know that this attack was certainly going to strike Flying Flames’s chest.

The arm of Flying Flames, which had been knocked away by the whip strike, could not return to block his chest in time. Qin Fen’s left foot was already embedded in Flying Flames’s chest.

This was the Shaolin Arhat Fist’s Treading the Mountains! The name of this move, nearly long forgotten by Flying Flames, popped out within Flying Flames’s in an instant. By now, Qin Fen had used the force of his step to soar high into the air, and he looked down at Flying Flames’s heavily injured body as it flew into the volcano.

As the sound of Flying Flames’s sternum fracturing rang out, the system transmitted a different piece of information: three ribs had pierced his heart. His life was terminated.

Before the body could fall into the lava, Flying Flames faded to nothing before Qin Fen’s eyes. He disappeared quickly.

I don’t accept this! AHH! Flying Flames roared madly in his heart, stifled. Thirty-Six Hours’ luck was too good. Not only had the Treading the Mountains move broke several of his ribs, his fractured ribs just so happened to pierce his heart. It was too late to display even a sliver of the Magma Art’s superiority. Flying Flames just died in this screwed up way. A feeling of humiliation, one that he never felt before, flooded his mind.

“Three ribs should have pierced his heart.”

Qin Fen watched as Flying Flames faded away with a face of grief and indignation. He calculated the results of his move based on the angle of impact.

This move was not the ordinary Treading the Mountains. It was fused with Butcher’s combat skills of slaughter. When he struck with this attack just now, he chose the angle of application in an extremely craft and hidden manner. It appeared to be a normal Treading the Mountains, but all Qin Fen had to do was apply a slight minute change and he was able to cause three ribs to pierce the chest.

Qin Fen slowly mobilizes strength within his body. According to the calculated probabilities, the second person to face the challenger would possess a strength a bit stronger than the first’s. Though there were normally limits to how powerful a tester could be, the third person to face the challenger could not be determined by the calculated probabilities. Sometimes they were extremely strong. Sometimes they were extremely weak.

“Excuse me, do you want to undergo the final test immediately?”

The synthetic voice sounded in the air, lacking all emotional whatsoever. Qin Fen was curious about who his third opponent would be. He simply nodded his head.
